OAKLAND -- Four people were shot -- one during an attempted robbery -- in different parts of Oakland between Saturday afternoon and early Sunday, police said.

All of the victims are expected to recover and none of the shootings appear to be related, police said.

The attempted robbery and shooting happened about 1:32 a.m. Sunday in the 2400 block of Eighth Avenue in East Oakland.

Police said a 21-year-old man was confronted by two people near his home who ordered him at gunpoint to give them his wallet. But before he could, he was shot in the arm by the suspects who fled in a car without taking anything from him.

Police are still not sure why the man was shot. He was taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition.

At 10:50 p.m. Saturday, a 23-year-old man was confronted by a group of other men while he walked in the 500 block of 12th Street in downtown.

When he tried to run away, he heard gunfire and was hit in the foot and leg. He was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.

Police don't know why the man was shot and no arrests have been made.
